Semple paving to be done by Kilbuck

No one is sure yet who owns the final 260 feet of Semple Avenue, but Kilbuck Township will pay to have the street paved.

Kilbuck was offered the opportunity last month to take advantage of the per-unit price for paving obtained by Avalon for its massive street rehabilitation program. Questions arose, however, as to whether the portion intersecting New Brighton Road in Kilbuck Township had, at some point, been turned over to Avalon, which owns the rest of the street.

Flood damage will delay fireworks

The annual North Boroughs Independence Day fireworks celebration will have to be delayed this year due to severe damage to Avalon’s park caused by recent rains.

This year’s event was planned for Friday, July 3, at Avalon’s park on New Brighton Road. Last week’s heavy rains, however, caused flooding from the creek that borders the ballfields. A retaining wall and fence were undermined almost the entire length of the fields, and the fields themselves were covered with flood waters, mud and debris.
